Synopsis

In a luxury hotel room, three sleek young black women are panicking. They are high-class "mules" (or drugs couriers) and one of their colleagues has absconded with the dope. If they don't effect a delivery in Amsterdam that day then they're done for. "I can't lose this job. I can't do anything else. Can you see me working in Woolworths?" asks the terrified Sammie, who has risen above her humble origins by carrying drugs for a living, and now spends her earnings on works of art.
